Huawei Technologies announced that it achieved what it claims to be the world’s fastest LTE-advanced downlink speeds of up to 1.2 Gb/s at CTIA Wireless 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“Huawei’s LTE-advanced technology enables future development of LTE for operators and provides unparalleled mobile broadband experiences for consumers. The record speeds, which are more than 40 times faster than existing commercial 3G networks, are expected to revolutionize user experience by meeting bandwidth requirements of data-heavy applications,” said Karen Yu, President of Huawei USA. “Huawei will continue to invest heavily in LTE and is committed to promoting industry developments and maturity.”

For the demo, Huawei used its SingleRAN prototype LTE-advanced solution with 80 MHz multi-carrier wideband radio and included following features: carrier aggregation (CA), 4x4 multi-input multi-output (MIMO), coordinated multipoint transmission (CoMP) and relay.
